WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY FOR COTSWOLD WEDDINGS

Cotswold Wedding Photographer - James Clarke

I’ve had the pleasure of shooting weddings in the beautiful area of the Cotswolds. Wedding venues such as Kingscote Barn I have worked at, with second shooting opportunities at Caswell House, Cripps Barn and Manor by the Lake. Ivy Lodge, Barn at Upcote, Eastington Park, all await in 2025, 2026 and 2027. Each of these beautiful venues add an extra layer of enchantment to your special day. My commitment to you as a couple is cutting edge wedding photography, driven by emotion, sets the stage for an unforgettable and memorable day captured through the lens. If you are searching for a Cotswold wedding photographer or Wedding photographer in the local region of the Cotswolds check out my portfolio of weddings. You can reach me on my contact page, or find out more about my Wedding photography on my ‘How I work’ page. I will get right back to you with any questions. I would love to capture your big day in my signature documentary wedding photography style. 

“His approach is fun and down to earth and made me especially, feel so much more relaxed. Thank you James!!”
